BEST FOOD AND SERVICE!!!!

by Tandb653 at Citysearch

The Pasta House is truly a wonderful place to dine at!! The food is delicious and homemade! One of my favorite dishes is Scampi Napoli, it's a pasta dish with large shrimp in a lemon garlic wine sauce and everything there comes with salad and bread!! You have to try the homemade italian dressing too! It's wonderful!! It is my favorite restaurant! The service is always wonderful, and it's a nice romantic place to relax! Dinner has mid-range prices, but lunch is absolutely affordable!!! At lunch the highest price is about $10 and you get a pasta dish or even a NY strip all of which comes with salad and bread!!! It's amazing!!

  • Pros: everything is homemade!! the pasta, the sauce, the dressing!

SHRIMP SHOULD NEVER COOKED THIS LOOOONG

by FOODY at Citysearch

My wife and I went to Pasta House for a celebration but left feeling as though we had been cheated. We ordered dishes which sounded good and even though pricy ($22 each) but were suprised to recieve mine-5 very over cooked tough shrimp with a meger sauce and my wife recieved 5 over cooked tough shrimp with a small amount of pasta. The sauce was so spicy that she could not eat it. When the waitress inquired "how is it" my wife told her that it was too spicy but she only said "I wondered why you ordered that". The menu DID NOT STATE IT WAS SPICY HOTTT. WE ASKED FOR CHEESE AND NEVER GOT ANY.

I TRUELY WILL NEVER RETURN.

I have eaten at a lot of Italian restaurants in the Us as well as Italy but this has to be the worst.

  • Pros: QUIET
  • Cons: POOR COOKING PROCESS

Excelent

I have been coming to this restaurant for 3 years now, not once have i had a bad dining expierince. They staff is very personal. The food is out of this world. The only negative that i have to say about it is the location. It is in an unusual location. Even though it is convenient for me it is right next to a gas station. 1000000000000000000000000000000 stars thumbs up!!!!!!!

  • Pros: Food service

Excellent Italian Food in an Unusual Location

by mweiss1 at Citysearch

Don't let the location of this restaurant deter you from dining here. Although located in a strip mall next to Memorial Regional Hospital, the Pasta House provides some of the best Italian food in the Richmond area. This food is not American style Italian but subtle, just like you would find in Italy. I have travelled extensively in Italy and while this is not Emelia Romagna, it is much better than the food you can get at the average Italian restaurant. The service is also very good and the atmosphere is welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.

  • Pros: Great Italian Food in an Unexpected Location
  • Cons: None
